New Found HOPE! January 2017 Newsletter

One of our main goals at W.I.N.G.S. is to see young moms and their babes successfully move forward into independent living. W.I.N.G.S. mom Cassandra

and her sweet daughter Anaiyah have just done that.

It was some eight months ago that Cassandra moved into W.I.N.G.S. She was a young lady who had been defiled by rape, dismissed from her employment and evicted from her home. Despite outrageous turmoil Cassandra made the brave choice to move forward with her pregnancy, come to W.I.N.G.S. and prepare for her future.

Well, as of this weekend her future has arrived. Cassandra has been blessed by receiving acceptance into the Homeward Bound program. It's a 4-year program based in Toronto that provides free 2-year college education, access to sustainable employment, affordable housing and free childcare. As this article was being written Cassandra is moving herself and Anaiyah into their newly provided Homeward Bound apartment.

Here She Comes....

We are thrilled to have our newest mom Leda and her 6 week-old son Declan come live at W.I.N.G.S. Maternity Home. Leda is a refugee from Albania who has no relations in Canada. She had been living in a Toronto shelter for the past six months before she came to W.I.N.G.S.

Leda and little Declan have been with us for 2 weeks now and are settling in as cherished members of our W.I.N.G.S. family. Isn't it amazing what a little bit of love can do?

Would you help young moms just like Cassandra and Leda by donating?

Without those who financially give to W.I.N.G.S. we would not be able to assist young homeless pregnant women and their babes.

Share the Love is a drop-in event that allows us to say "Thank You" to our current monthly supporters. It's also an opportunity for us to introduce new

potential donors to W.I.N.G.S.

If you are a monthly Key or Feather donor or would like to be a monthly partner, we warmly invite you to drop by. We also encourage you to Share the Love by bringing a friend who could be introduced to the work of W.I.N.G.S. Come anytime between 2:00pm - 5:00pm to meet our moms and babes, hear their stories, tour our home, and get caught up with all that is W.I.N.G.S. See you there!

Share the Love takes place on site at W.I.N.G.S. Maternity Home
